This blog features Dawn Hunter’s original, creative project about the life of Santiago Ramón y Cajal. Since 2014, she has immersed Cajal in "neuron narratives," connecting him to seminal influences from his youth that led to his perception of the neuron as an individual unit, like his literary hero, Don Quixote. References to the verbal and visual content of her work should include appropriate citations. Dawn is the 2017 Fulbright Senior Research Scholar to the Cajal Institute, Madrid, Spain.

Drawing: Sketchbook Highlights
While for me, as an artist, a painting will reveal itself gradually over time, however, my drawings develop very rapidly. My studio practice is balanced with both. During the past six months I have filled three sketchbooks with over a hundred drawings. Below are thirty "highlights" from my sketchbooks. The drawings are all marker and ink on paper. The size range from 9" x 12" to 11" x 14." Some of the drawings are studies for long term works and others are complete works in and of themselves. The works have been completed through direct observation working plein air when outdoors, or from a still life or live model in the studio. Most of the works are straight forward perceptual recordings, and some of the drawings are developed into a more imaginative and conceptual direction.
